Adopt One of Our Animals

Bear
is a 2 1/2 year old Chocolate Lab. Bear came from the Waterloo,
Iowa Humane Society. His previous home abused Bear, never took him
for walks, and had him tied on a leash all day even in the freezing
cold! Bear has aggression issues when he first meets strangers. But
he has never actually bit anyone. He just barks. After a couple
times of being around someone he is a normal dog. So far I have seen
major improvements with Bear and feel with a little more time Bear
can overcome his fearful aggression. Bear has all of his shots and
is altered. Bear should
be placed in a home that has time to continue to work with him on a
daily basis. He should not be placed in a home with children under
(18) or other dogs until he has more training.
Bear is a young dog that deserves a chance to prove what a great guy
he is. Please contact our rescue if you are interested in adopting
or foster Bear.

We recently had an Owner surrender (3) very special Doberman's to our rescue. Due to the circumstances of the surrender these (3) dogs were sent out of state to a wonderful family that will be assessing them and working with them get them ready them for adoption.
Here
are a couple pictures of these wonderful dogs. On outward
appearances they look fine.

(2) Belgium Draft Horses Looking For A Forever Home or A Foster/Safe
House
We were contacted by a family that needs to place (2) Belgium Draft
horses ASAP. We will be working with them to find a great forever
home. They must be placed together! If you or anyone you know is
interested in these horses please contact our rescue. We will set up
a time for you to see both of them in person.
We are also considering a Foster/Safe House if you can provide that
for these horses until they are placed. If you are a Foster/Safe
House you will provide total care for these horses including but not
limited to normal Vet care, Farrier services, feed & housing until
we find them a forever home. Foster/Safe House services are a
tax-deductible in-kind service. You will be provided an in-kind
receipt for these services. You must keep all receipts for anything
related to the care of these horses in order for us to provide you
an in-kind donation receipt. If you have other horses on the
property these receipts must not include any cost related to any
other horses you house or own.
Babe & Zeus are very big boys. They are perfectly sound. Zeus goes
on voice commands and can be mounted from any side and is very
patient. . Babe is a big love - he loves to be groomed and pampered.
They have spent 12 years together and I would hate to break them up
now. Zeus had a throat defect that he was born with that makes it
hard to swallow hay. He has outgrown that pretty much. In winter we
give him alfalfa pellets to help with weight to make sure he gets
enough when on hay for the winter. He does great on grass because it
is wet from the dew. But they are both easy keepers really. They are
up to date on shots and de-wormer. They are both broke to ride.
Please keep in mind these are very large horses and they require a
large amount of food, a large area for shelter and like all animals
a life long commitment if you make the choice to adopt them.
Keep in mind we took these pictures
after it rained. The horses had just rolled in the mud and we were
not stopping them! The lighter colored horse is Zeus and the darker
colored horse is Babe.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Christmas Seven Horses
Many of
you may have seen the new cast on Channel 6 News,
please
click here to read the news story
about the seven horses that were surrendered to our rescue
Christmas Eve 2007. What you have not seen is all of the
suffering & pain they have endured. Pictures do not
tell the whole story. We have spent a lot of
time with all these horses.

Race
& Karot are looking for a forever home. We hope to adopt them
together as they have been together for a very long time and they
are attached to each other. Race, on the left below, is a
TB/Quarter Horse Gelding, 18- 20 years old. He is broke to ride and
should be rode lightly due to his age.
Karot, on the right, is a Quarter Horse, 23 - 25 years old mare.
She is broke to ride and should be also be rode lightly due to her
age. Both of these horses are doing very well and are in a foster
home together in Nebraska.
They
are both very sweet horses and need to find a great forever home
that will love them. They are current on shots. Their hooves are
done every (6) weeks and their teeth have just been floated. They
are ready to go to the right home. Please call us if you are
interested in Race & Karot. We are asking $400.00 for the pair.
This is a picture of (2) of the (7) ponies &
horses that we removed from a Tabor, IA
residence Christmas Eve 2007.
Tula
is a 4 yr old bay mare with a star/snip and 3 white
ankles, she looks like she is a quarter/Arab cross and
is very sweet natured. Tula is halter broke and that's
it. We are going to start working with her on her ground
manners though.
Fanny is a 10 yr old quarter/Arab cross bay mare with a
stripe and 4 white ankles, Fanny is also very sweet
natured but due to ringbone and arthritis in her front
leg she will only be suited as a pasture companion.
Fanny
gets around great and does not really appear to be
bothered by the ringbone at this time. Fanny and Tula
are very bonded to each other and look quite similar I
suppose it is possible that Tula is Fanny's filly.
Then there is Jack, he is a 3 yr old bay gelding. Jack
was still a stallion when we first took him in and then
had him gelded after he started to put on weight. Jack
was extremely fearful of people at first
and we moved him to a foster home with a very
knowledgeable horse women and he has come along way. He
still has some trust issues to work on however.
Jack will do best with a home were someone has the time,
patience and knowledge to continue his socialization and
care.
Anyone interested in these horses can contact Kristie
with the Nebraska Humane Society at 444-7800 ext 325.

We received this
letter and we want to share it with everyone out there that loves
animals. After reading this if you can find it in your heart to
adopt these two dogs please contact us as we are full at the rescue
but we need to find these two poor animals a great home. They need a
forever home as soon as possible! And the letter reads as follows:
I need help. I
am desperate and completely heartbroken.
I had to move from my home in February, leaving my two dogs, and the
young
couple who were moving in my home said they would take care of them
since
I could not. My dogs are 5 years old, a lab/shepherd mix. Audi and
Pasha. Both are German Shepherd colored, Audi with a big lab head,
Pasha with a more
pointed shepherd head.
I always fed them high quality dog food from the pet store, even
their diet
has changed. They have always been taken to the vet regularly for
shots,
and they were both fixed at a young age. Even when they were pups,
they never once went to the bathroom in the house, dug in the
garbage, made any
messes at all.
Please call us or
e-mail us and let's help this once "family" find peace again in all
their lives. The dogs are in Iowa now.
